Sensex Prediction
Sensex formed a strong reversal pattern on daily charts, and a long bullish candle on weekly charts, which is largely positive. Last week, Sensex gained 1.73%.
“For positional traders, 74,800 and 74,300 would act as key support zones. As long as Sensex is trading above these levels, the uptrend is likely to continue. On the higher side, it could continue rallying till 75,900 and 76,300 – 76,600. However, below 74,300, the uptrend would become vulnerable,” said Amol Athawale, VP Technical Research, Kotak Securities.

“The psychological barrier of 75,000 has been decisively cleared and will now function as a critical demand zone. If the structural upward momentum sustains, Sensex is geared to challenge the 76,500 structural ceiling next,” said Jain.
Nifty Options Data
From a derivatives standpoint, the options data reflects a notable improvement in market positioning.
“Significant put open interest accumulation at 23,500, 23,400, and 23,300 strikes has established a strong support base, while substantial call open interest at 24,000 and 24,500 strikes marks the next resistance zone.

“A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart which indicates a decisive breakout of the consolidation movement of the last few sessions. The short-term trend of Nifty 50 has turned positive after a recent choppy movement. The next upside levels to be watched are around 23,800 and next 24,100 in the near term,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

“The immediate hurdle is the 50-DMA, placed around 23,720. A decisive move above this level could open the door for a rally towards 24,000 in the near term. On the downside, 23,500 remains the key psychological support, followed by the strong double-bottom support at 23,070. The momentum indicator RSI has rebounded from lower levels and moved above the 50 mark, signalling improving strength in the underlying trend,” said Jain.

“Technically, Nifty 50 has formed a strong base in the 23,000 – 23,050 zone, which remains a crucial support area. As long as this level stays intact, a buy on dips approach remains favorable. Immediate support is placed near 23,300, while the 55 day EMA around 23,800 may act as immediate resistance,” said Singh.
A decisive breakout above 23,800 could trigger further upside momentum towards the 24,100 level, he added.

Momentum indicators also remain supportive of the ongoing upmove. Notably, the daily RSI has surged above the 60-mark for the first time since February 2026, highlighting a significant pickup in bullish momentum,” said Sudeep Shah, Head – Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities.
